Rifling History

It should come as no surprise that rifles are so-titled due to the rifling inside their barrels. These grooves in the wall of the rifle barrel spin the bullet as it is fired, an innovation that lead to longer range and higher accuracy in long arms. Although the earliest accounts of rifling date to the 16th century, it did not become a common practice until manufacturing methods were improved, especially by the Industrial Revolution.

The muskets that preceded rifles were loading with loose musket balls that would bounce around the smoothbore barrel as they were fired, leading to wear and tear over time and creating less accurate targeting. Rifles with their rifled barrels became the most widely used firearm in the world once producing them became more precise and less costly. Today rifle barrels run a wide gamut of rifling styles that affect twist rate and bullet stability. Sniper rifles and competitive shooting rifles rack up some of the most impressive long-distance records due in no small part to their barrels.
